Blunt Force Truth: Any time someone tries to charge you emotionally, energetically, or resourcefully for your freedom, they’ve been brainwashed. And they’re trying to brainwash you too. Because they’ve given up their freedom to the false ideals of others. That’s not what freedom is–it’s enslavement. Freedom IS free, simply because you have freedom over your programming when you are aware. Freedom is an inside job! And yes, you do give some of it away for security when powers in control use fear as a manipulation strategy. But you do get to choose how you respond to the elements of control. And yes, you can allow yourself to be unattached. Your mind is yours. Your identity is yours. You are spirit. These things cannot be taken away no matter how hard someone tries. Only you can allow it. And even if you don’t allow it, you can still recognize, honor, and be thankful for those who dedicated their lives fighting for your freedom. And you can also stand up for them. You can support them. You can be there for them. Because a free mind is there for others. A free spirit loves unconditionally. And so it is.
